According to his [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0936404/bio bio] at IMDB, Wise worked several odd jobs at RKO until someone noticed his talent as a sound editor, and the rest is history. From 1934-35, he worked as a sound editor (vastly uncredited) for movies like ''Of Human Bondage'', ''The Gay Divorcee'', ''The Informer'', and ''Top Hat'', before moving on to editor of ''Bachelor Mother'', ''5th Ave Girl'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', ''My Favorite Wife'', and ''Dance, Dance, Dance'', before his first major job on ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', being handpicked by the the legendary [[Orson Welles]]. Not known by many, his first directing career was actually on ''The Magnificent Ambersons'', uncredited, nonetheless, but a major step in a young filmmaker's career.
